WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

 It has been a long,

strange year for me.

Hubby went into assisted living

and I am still recovering

from the last few years

of caretaking--

which caused my own health problem.

I am doing a lot better.

I baked and cooked for three days

preparing for a 

Girlfriend Party

for all the decorators/undecorators

that helped with 

Christmas at the Clubhouse.

Just a sneak peak at

a few little things around

my house this year.

My grandgirl, Maria,

made good use of the whiteboard.

Later we used it to play

Pictionary.

Here she is with her 

Christmas apron on

waiting for 

the ladies to arrive~


                           Glasses are ready for some

Christmas cheer~


                       My Spode got a good workout~

I have service for 24~

                     The piano was waiting for carols-

Didn't happen-

                            Furniture moved all around

to accommodate all the ladies~

And a sweet little gift

package for them to take home~


                          I had planned lots of pictures

but for some reason

they are not loading properly

and my wording is all over the place~sigh~

So-

Here's wishing you all a very

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and a NEW YEAR

filled with 

HOPE, HEALTH & HAPPINESS.

Thank you for all the years

you have followed me

and been patient with my lack

of posts.

Love you all~

Oh, love YOU, Diana! Wish I could have been at that girlfriend's party, such fun you must have had! I need new glasses, I thought you had to break out the "spade" and wondered for a second why you had to dig. Ha! Then, I saw your beautiful China cabinet, and I knew it was the "Spode"! Listen, if you ever need help in digging or dining, you just let me know but I am much better at the second one. Have a happy Christmas!
